Gay rights is a civil rights issue

In response to the letter from Bill Woodard “Out of the Closet- an alternate approach” which was a response to the opinion of Bill Inglish “Out of the Closet” which appeared in the May 9 edition of the E-E, I would like to express some confusion about his reference to scripture.

Mr. Woodard states that a passage that charges us to love God and each other doesn’t appear often in the Bible. Really? I see it all through the Old and New Testaments. What else does “God is Love” mean?

I don’t know Mr. Woodard, but I do know Bill Inglish. I also know that each argument presented by Mr. Woodard was also preached by well-meaning, but mis-guided men concerning Slavery. This is truly a Civil Rights issue. Bill Inglish gets that.
